Good Luck.

 I don't really care about the request by the OP!!!!

If any freaking person mentions podcast #70, I'm going to ask them to to do some research in the forms; Before you begin talking about how great some freaking podcast is. He violated several federal laws.  

CAVEAT LECTOR , let the reader beware!  Stupid is becoming the norm in BP forums. And that know nothing could not answer questions aboy credit cards or student debt, falt azz lied about understanding 9,000 pages! Total BS. !!!  . 

 *sigh* I'm on vacation with my wife and have neither the time nor desire to get into another cyber war with you over this. The other poster is right that whenever you're involved it devolves into a borderline slanderous set of replies where you seem to feel that whoever is most aggressive and verbose is the victor. 

I reply only because I know others will eventually read this thread. Yes, I have read Dodd-frank entirely. Yes, there are only select sections that even remotely apply to us, so the need for reading the rest was more a bragging right than anything. Yes, I literally spend 50-75 hours every week doing nothing but seller financing (both for my own portfolio and as an acting RMLO for other investors.) Yes I have gone through auditing process with the CFPB unscathed (as have all of the other RMLO's I know currently in this business). 

Bill is NOT CURRENTLY an auditor and is not currently doing this business to the best of my knowledge. 

I have run all of what I do by an entire counsel of lawyers: case lawyers, standard real estate/title attorneys, and Dodd-Frank specialists. 

To all future readers, please be aware that whoever yells loudest is not always right. Please take a look at bill's post history to see the manner in which he posts and make your own decisions. Read the laws for yourself or choose whomever you believe to be "in the know" and work with them. 

Again, I don't have time to mess with the reply I know bill will have, as I am trying to enjoy a long deserved vacation. If anyone ever has DF questions or owner financing questions, I will be more than happy to address them. 

 Well said, sir.

Whatevs. I've been called things by lots of people. How many real estate deals have they done? I invest in distressed houses and usually owner finance them on 30 year notes. I love what I do.

I found this to be a very interesting strategy for out of state buyers looking for higher returns without the normal landlord baloney in another state.

If I can make 10% or more on a property I don't have to fix, that is something I am interested in.

I am largely passive in that I own owner finance properties mostly. The only down side with it that I have found is it takes time to find a quality buyer. Other than that, I love it.

An investor I work with has done very well borrowing OPM over the years for his projects that make 10%+ per year. But even he has found the last few years that people are tighter with their money. He finds it harder to borrow private funds, and he's done hundreds of profitable deals in his career, has a long track record.

Nice problem to have :). I buy in cash in the under 100k house market, and then seller finance, sometimes rent. About 10k in rehab and then resell. Straight cash flow. I like buy and hold cash flow and that's how I invest. Good luck !

The state has always been a good, stable market for me, regardless of what the oil price is.
